 I thought I'd copied it from one of the Southern Water documents, but I 
 can't find it now. 
  
 I can only assume that seeing around 75 - 95 mAOD I'd assumed it was a 
 %, but I've no idea why. So it looks like not only was "aMOD" wrong, but 
 so was the use of the % sign. Apologies to all for the mess.
